Woodpecker Trail via Clear Creek Trail
Woodpecker is perfect for ALL SKILL LEVELS! Here you can find the complete Woodpecker trail map as well as maps for Sugar Bottom Singletrack. You might be wondering where to access it. Well, you can ride to or park at the Tom Harken Trailhead OR if you are riding from Iowa City you can access the East entrance via the Clear Creek Trail--traveling North, ride over the bridge and look to the LEFT to pop onto Woodpecker! See insert below.
This urban single track is a newer addition to the cycling amenities in Johnson County. Starting at the Tom Harken Trailhead, the trails meander and flow through a wooded area along Clear Creek; the east and west trail sections are split by Camp Cardinal Boulevard with a connector passing under the street. Featuring mostly green/beginner difficulty level trails and some pump track-like sections, these are fun trails for riders of all types, from kids starting out to the expert looking to squeeze in some convenient training miles. You’ll find lots of solid wooden bridges over water features and wetlands, sandy soil that tends to drain well after rain, and many urban deer that call these woods home.
